You're Favorite Techinical Indicators - List Them

Recommended Posts

Your ADX has longer periods than DMI. I thought it should be the other way around, since ADX lags more than DMI? Exemple DMI=14 and ADX=9.

 

 

I daytrade eminis and use 3 timeframes YM 1296t 432t 144t, plus ES 5400t for lead/SR. I use adaptive average (10). I tested other MAs/EMAs, no contest.

I enter when it curves up/down from being flat a while, in sync with a zero line cross on the detrended oscillator or MACD (Linda Raschke's 3/10 settings),

confirmed by slow stoch cross-over, preferably at extreme point/off SR/pivot point. But my trigger indicator is the DMI with ADX combo (super-imposed) with

extreme settings: DMI 6.8.8 ADX 10.4,19 on Sierra Charts (standard settings are too slow). I arrived at these settings after backtesting every possible

permutation. The trick is to get the topDI to jump over the ADX line or at least touch it and turn up; play with your settings until that happens, it should be a

very visible signal! No matter where all other indicators point, if the ADX is not moving up, there's no trend and you are dead in the water. This ADX is more

reliable than Bollinger Bands at any settings, and a whole lot better than the squeeze indicator, which tends to join the party too late. I compared.

Price is my indicator :) I stopped using technical indicators years ago. Now the only tools I use are market internal tools such as the TICK, TRIN, prem, and PC ratio. I also use market profile and pivot points. Read this thread to learn more about my trading techniques.

Don't think that you could find a better indicator than the tramp stamp. Was my most reliable indicator back when I was single.

BUMP... baby, BUMP!

 

two out of three girls i would mess around with before i met my wife had the tramp stamp. they also both had boyfriends.

 

my wife does not have a trampstamp. we have an excellent, committed, loving relationship, and both trust and mutual respect define the boundaries of every part of it.

 

Trampstamp = probably not wife material

 

No Trampstamp = probably NOT screwing the neighbor and the door man when your working late to provide for her future.

 

hah. the trampstamp. BUMP

My Brain - I use it to help me determine which tool should be applied to which situation, and what importance to place on it. My toolbox has tools that only make straight lines on my charts, including volume, horizontal depictions of volume, candlestick patterns, statistically viable tools, fundamental trends, COT studies, highs and lows of all sorts, but most of all a constant, very deliberate choice to monitor my own internal thoughts, feelings, and emotions, in order to make sure I personally am mentally in the correct place from which to best be able to choose the right tools.

I always use EMA-9, EMA-22 & EMA-32 for deciding whether to buy or sell. When EMA-9 crosses over EMA-22 & EMA-32, I buy and vice versa. Other factors I consider is a formation of a candle above EMA-32 before I buy. The time frame I use is 15 min. It has helped me to make profits consistently. Normally I look for 10% profit per day. With a 1:100 leverage, it is just 10 pips usually. It helps me to quadruple my small account every month. :2c:

    • Date: 3rd April 2025.   Gold Prices Pull Back After Record High as Traders Eye Trump’s Tariffs.   Key Takeaways:   Gold prices retreated after hitting a record high of $3,167.57 per ounce due to profit-taking. President Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on all US imports, escalating trade tensions. Gold remains exempt from reciprocal tariffs, reinforcing its safe-haven appeal. Investors await US non-farm payroll data for further market direction. Fed rate cut bets and weaker US Treasury yields underpin gold’s bullish outlook. Gold Prices Retreat from Record Highs Amid Profit-Taking Gold prices saw a pullback on Thursday as traders opted to take profits following a historic surge. Spot gold declined 0.4% to $3,122.10 per ounce as of 0710 GMT, retreating from its fresh all-time high of $3,167.57. Meanwhile, US gold futures slipped 0.7% to $3,145.00 per ounce, reflecting broader market uncertainty over economic and geopolitical developments.   The recent rally was largely fueled by concerns over escalating trade tensions after President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping new import tariffs. The 10% baseline tariff on all goods entering the US further deepened the global trade conflict, intensifying investor demand for safe-haven assets like gold. However, as traders locked in gains from the surge, prices saw a modest retracement.   Trump’s Tariffs and Their Market Implications On Wednesday, Trump introduced a sweeping tariff policy imposing a 10% baseline duty on all imports, with significantly higher tariffs on select nations. While this move was aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing, it sent shockwaves across global markets, fueling inflation concerns and heightening trade war fears.   Gold’s Role Amid Trade War Escalations Despite the widespread tariff measures, the White House clarified that reciprocal tariffs do not apply to gold, energy, and ‘certain minerals that are not available in the US’. This exemption suggests that central banks and institutional investors may continue favouring gold as a hedge against economic instability. One of the key factors supporting gold is the slowdown that these tariffs could cause in the US economy, which raises the likelihood of future Federal Reserve rate cuts. Gold is currently in a pure momentum trade. Market participants are on the sidelines and until we see a significant shakeout, this momentum could persist.   Impact on the US Dollar and Bond Yields Gold prices typically move inversely to the US dollar, and the latest developments have pushed the dollar to its weakest level since October 2024. Market participants are increasingly pricing in the possibility of a Fed rate cut, as the tariffs could weigh on economic growth.   Additionally, US Treasury yields have plummeted, reflecting growing recession fears. Lower bond yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, making it a more attractive investment.         Technical Analysis: Key Levels to Watch Gold’s recent rally has pushed it into overbought territory, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 70. This indicates a potential short-term pullback before the uptrend resumes. The immediate support level lies at $3,115, aligning with the Asian session low. A further decline could bring gold towards the $3,100 psychological level, which has previously acted as a strong support zone. Below this, the $3,076–$3,057 region represents a critical weekly support range where buyers may re-enter the market. In the event of a more significant correction, $3,000 stands as a major psychological floor.   On the upside, gold faces immediate resistance at $3,149. A break above this level could signal renewed bullish momentum, potentially leading to a retest of the record high at $3,167. If bullish momentum persists, the next target is the $3,200 psychological barrier, which could pave the way for further gains. Despite the recent pullback, the broader trend remains bullish, with dips likely to be viewed as buying opportunities.   Looking Ahead: Non-Farm Payrolls and Fed Policy Traders are closely monitoring Friday’s US non-farm payrolls (NFP) report, which could provide critical insights into the Federal Reserve’s next policy moves. A weaker-than-expected jobs report may strengthen expectations for an interest rate cut, further boosting gold prices.   Other key economic data releases, such as jobless claims and the ISM Services PMI, may also impact market sentiment in the short term. However, with rising geopolitical uncertainties, trade tensions, and a weakening US dollar, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains strong.   Conclusion: While short-term profit-taking may trigger minor corrections, gold’s long-term outlook remains bullish. As global trade tensions mount and the Federal Reserve leans toward a more accommodative stance, gold could see further gains in the months ahead.   Always trade with strict risk management.
